Hello and welcome to the Friday podcast. I'm Garrett Morrison, and today's episode is brought to you by

Rapsoto

So let's talk about the Rapsoto mobile launch monitor. This thing represents a major evolution in personal launch monitors

It's very portable the case is about the size of your rangefinder case and you can take it with you to the driving range

Connect it to your smartphone and it provides instant data about your shot distance clubhead speed launch angle all that stuff

It even records stats video and shot tracer for you

Basically the mobile launch monitor makes it so that you're not just mindlessly hitting balls instead

You're actually tracking what you're doing and on top of that it's very accurate

We're talking within 2% of launch monitors that cost 50 times as much if you use our code fried egg at checkout

Last year and so if you've listened to those episodes

You'll know that what makes Bob's work about John Lowe so great is that he gives a sense of not only who low was and what he did
